    I was born in 1972 and grew up with 70's and 80's comedy. And yet, I find myself coming back to these old videos of comedy from the 50's and 60's, and I enjoy them alot more than the crap we have today. I also prefer music from the mid-to-late 1960's far better than modern music. Why? Because there was more class in the world back then and people didn't get so offended at the drop of a hat, that's why. My parents were so lucky to have come of age during this era of entertainment.

Since Groucho had written a note with his picture, my brother wrote again. And so did Groucho. And they kept exchanging letters for something like a year. Groucho was really nice and gave all kinds of good advice.

    The difference between the great comedians back then and today is that back then they had the time and patience and skill to develop their "characters," not just depend on one-line zingers. The image of Jack Benny being cheap was reinforced time and time again (he actually was an extremely kind and generous man). Today's comedians do material that most often is totally interchangeable between them; you couldn't take a Jack Benny Show script and have it work as effectively with any other comedian.
    Which brings me to the writing. While Jack would contribute ideas and comments, and had final say, the scripts were written by some of the most talented and funny writers in the industry. Benny's radio show had pretty much the same four to six writers every week for many, many years, usually two or three to a "team." One team would write the first half of the radio show; the other would do the second half. Then together they'd iron out the continuity, at which point Jack would come in for what we now call a "table read."
    Jack wanted his character to be the "shlub" - the butt of the jokes. He didn't care if he didn't have a punch line on a sketch, which was very different from others in his and later eras. Things happened AROUND and TO Jack, which was all a part of the character he portrayed. That consistency, and the lack of an ego, made the "Jack Benny" we heard and, later, saw, a personality we could identify with, and, importantly, make us COMFORTABLE with our "old friend."
    That's much like the way McDonald's, for example, provides consistent experiences; when you go into a McDonald's, you already know what's on the menu, what it will taste like, etc. You don't have to study the menu, wonder what the food will taste like, and so on. (Holiday Inns built on that same idea for years.)
    Jack was born on Valentine's Day in 1894. He was in many ways America's "Valentine," beloved by millions. During a visit to Chicago, I drove up to Waukegan and walked around a little. There were plaques, statues and memorials throughout...even a Jack Benny High School! I later visited his grave at the Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Culver City, CA, and spent a moment silently thanking him for the comedy, the laughs and most of all, the LOVE he gave to the world.
    The era of the comedic greats who built their characters from the ground up, and who stayed consistent throughout their careers, is long past us. We don't want to "get to know" these people; we want instant gratification without having to think about it. THAT is a real shame.
    So, THANK YOU, Jack, for everything you gave us...it couldn't have come from a nicer or a more loving man.

      So many nuances in JB's character development. Over the years his hair piece was mentioned time and again, yet he never ever wore on his entire life. Some of the bits repeated over and over, yet the audience still screamed, knowing what was coming. Simple, yet constantly entertaining and effective comedy.

    Loved it when "Rodney" reached down the Duck's throat "Hey is there any more down there??!!"......Groucho:"Nahhh, duck just flew in from Vegas."

    I was only 3 in 1955 so I don't remember this specific clip but Groucho and Jack Benny were on T.V. for many years, and became 2 of my all time favorites growing up.Thanks for posting this. And no mrrk, Jack was not gay. It's what they called "Schtick" in those days.

    Wonderful,, wonderful, wonderful. This sketch could be played today (if done correctly) Sooooo funny. But no one could do it like Jack and Groucho!!! (I'm English but find this American humour so very good).

    I listen to Jack Benny shows a lot via podcasts. Never fails to crack me up. He had the best actors as part of his ensemble. Phill Harris, Mel Blanc, Eddie Anderson, Frank Nelson (Yessssss!), Dennis Day, Don Wilson etc. All great actor/comedians with tremendous talent, timing and skills. The model for shows to follow like the Newhart shows.
